4 stroke weight on 1998 21?

[bj]

I have been watching this thread since I have a 2003 21' Seacraft with a 200 HP Merc EFI. Obviously I burn a lot of fuel and will certainly consider a 4 stroke somewhere in the future. I have a 1997 Seacraft brochure that has the 23 and the 25 in it. It only mentions that the stringers are fiberglass with foam . I have a feeling that there was wood being used then or they would have advertised that fact. I have a 2001 brochure that lists all the same models they have now and it says no wood in the construction. I know that this is not answering your question since yours is a 1998 but I suspect that 1998 may be the year they changed to no wood construction since they started production of other models other than the 23 and 25. As far as the weight of a 4 stroke on the 21, I think it would work fine most of the time at least on my model. I don't have any scupper issues with the baitwell full and 2 people on board. Now if all of us are on the same side water will come in. If I had to make a decision today to re-power I would probably choose one of the new Direct injected 2 strokes.
